Microwave Pumpkin Seeds: When short on time, microwave pumpkin seeds. In a microwave safe ceramic/glass dish, mix 1 cup of pumpkin seeds and up to 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil. Toast in microwave for 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir. Continue to toast in increments of 1 minute, stirring in between, until desired crispness. Add salt to taste.

If pumpkin seeds are not consumed within 1-2 days, refrigerate in an air-tight container. When refrigerated, expect the seeds to last for one to two months at peak freshness.
